VN Program Mission Statement
Texas Health School’s Vocational Nursing Program exists to provide quality nursing education to its diverse student population. With an emphasis on practicing competent, safe, and responsible nursing care, our LVN program’s primary goal is the development of practical nurses who have a strong theoretical base, competent clinical skills, and sound clinical judgment.
The program emphasizes hands-on training necessary for skill competence, a structured decision-making model based on rationale for quality patient care, and self-evaluation in the promotion of professional development.
LVN-to-ADN Program Mission Statement
The Mission of the proposed Texas Health School (THS) LVN-to-ADN Program builds upon the Mission of the THS Vocational Nursing Program currently in operation and is as follows:
The mission of the Texas Health School’s LVN-to-ADN Program is to provide quality education to a diverse student population necessary to contribute to the nursing profession through development of competent, safe, and empathetic novice RNs. The curriculum of the LVN-to-ADN Program will expand students’ competence as LVNs by emphasizing knowledge, skills, and aptitudes necessary to make appropriate clinical judgments consistent with the RN scope of practice in a variety of clinical settings. Graduates will be committed to life-long learning, using reflection and self-evaluation to continue their professional development.

THS equips you with the training you need to become a licensed or certified healthcare professional. It is important to prepare for these assessments, as they determine the success of your career in the medical field. The NCLEX-PN and NCLEX-RN are rigorous examinations which every vocational nurse and associate degree nurse respectively, across the nation must take in order to work in any healthcare environment.
Our Nurse Aide and Medication Aide courses also train you to prepare for your certifications, whether they be for CNA or CMA.
